When the donkeys want apples or carrots, they come ot one of the gates and bray. It always gets me, and usually Maria. They do this every few days, and we are never sure what prompts them to be so insistent. I do know I am a sucker for them, they have learned exactly how to get me out of my chair and out of the house with something in my hand.
I accept that the donkeys are smarter than me.
